And from Jerusalem, and from Idumea, and from beyond Jordan; and they about Tyre and Sidon, a great multitude, when they had heard what great things he did, came unto him.

And he spoke to his disciples, that a small ship should wait on him because of the multitude, lest they should throng him.

For he had healed many; so much that they pressed upon him to touch him, as many as had diseases.

And unclean spirits, when they saw him, fell down before him, and cried, saying, You are the Son of God.

And he sternly charged them that they should not make him known.

And he went up into a mountain, and called unto him whom he would: and they came unto him.

And he ordained twelve, that they should be with him, and that he might send them forth to preach,

And Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed him: and they went into a house.

And when his friends heard of it, they went out to lay hold on him: for they said, He is beside himself.

And he called them unto him, and said unto them in parables, How can Satan cast out Satan?

There came then his brothers and his mother, and, standing outside, sent unto him, calling him.

And the multitude sat about him, and they said unto him, Behold, your mother and your brothers outside seek for you.

And he looked round about on them who sat about him, and said, Behold my mother and my brothers!

And he began again to teach by the sea side: and there was gathered unto him a great multitude, so that he entered into a ship, and sat in the sea; and the whole multitude was by the sea on the land.

And he said unto them, He that has ears to hear, let him hear.

And when he was alone, they that were about him with the twelve asked of him the parable.

If any man has ears to hear, let him hear.

For he that has, to him shall be given: and he that has not, from him shall be taken even that which he has.

And when they had sent away the multitude, they took him just as he was in the ship. And there were also with him other little ships.

And he was in the rear of the ship, asleep on a pillow: and they awoke him, and said unto him, Teacher, care you not that we perish?

And they feared exceedingly, and said one to another, What manner of man is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?

And when he came out of the ship, immediately there met him out of the tombs a man with an unclean spirit,

Who had his dwelling among the tombs; and no man could bind him, no, not with chains:

Because he had been often bound with fetters and chains, and the chains had been wrenched apart by him, and the fetters broken in pieces: neither could any man subdue him.

But when he saw Jesus afar off, he ran and worshiped him,

For he had said unto him, Come out of the man, you unclean spirit.

And he asked him, What is your name? And he answered, saying, My name is Legion: for we are many.

And he begged him much that he would not send them away out of the country.

And all the demons begged him, saying, Send us into the swine, that we may enter into them.

And they came to Jesus, and saw him that was possessed with the demon, and had the legion, sitting, and clothed, and in his right mind: and they were afraid.

And they that saw it told them what had happened to him that was possessed with the demon, and also concerning the swine.

And they began to ask him to depart out of their region.

And when he was come into the ship, he that had been possessed with the demon asked him that he might be with him.

But Jesus permitted him not, but said unto him, Go home to your friends, and tell them what great things the Lord has done for you, and has had compassion on you.

And he departed, and began to announce in Decapolis what great things Jesus had done for him: and all men did marvel.

And when Jesus was passed over again by ship unto the other side, many people gathered unto him: and he was near unto the sea.

And, behold, there came one of the rulers of the synagogue, Jairus by name; and when he saw him, he fell at his feet,

And besought him greatly, saying, My little daughter lies at the point of death: I pray you, come and lay your hands on her, that she may be healed; and she shall live.

And Jesus went with him; and many people followed him, and thronged him.

And Jesus, immediately knowing in himself that power had gone out of him, turned about in the crowd, and said, Who touched my clothes?

And his disciples said unto him, You see the multitude thronging you, and you say, Who touched me?

But the woman fearing and trembling, knowing what was done in her, came and fell down before him, and told him all the truth.

And he permitted no man to follow him, except Peter, and James, and John the brother of James.

And they laughed him to scorn. But when he had put them all out, he took the father and the mother of the child, and them that were with him, and entered in where the child was lying.

And he went out from there, and came into his own country; and his disciples followed him.

And when the sabbath day was come, he began to teach in the synagogue: and many hearing him were astonished, saying, From where has this man these things? and what wisdom is this which is given unto him, that even such mighty works are wrought by his hands?

Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, the brother of James, and Joses, and of Judas, and Simon? and are not his sisters here with us? And they took offense at him.

And he called unto him the twelve, and began to send them forth two by two; and gave them power over unclean spirits;

And king Herod heard of him; (for his name was spread abroad:) and he said, That John the Baptist was risen from the dead, and therefore mighty works do show forth themselves in him.

For Herod himself had sent forth and laid hold upon John, and bound him in prison for Herodias' sake, his brother Philip's wife: for he had married her.

Therefore Herodias had a quarrel against him, and would have killed him; but she could not:

For Herod feared John, knowing that he was a just man and holy, and protected him; and when he heard him, he did many things, and heard him gladly.

And when the daughter of the said Herodias came in, and danced, and pleased Herod and them that sat with him, the king said unto the girl, Ask of me whatsoever you will, and I will give it to you.

And the king was exceedingly sorry; yet for his oath's sake, and for their sakes who sat with him, he would not reject her.

And immediately the king sent an executioner, and commanded his head to be brought: and he went and beheaded him in the prison,

And the apostles gathered themselves together unto Jesus, and told him all things, both what they had done, and what they had taught.

And the people saw them departing, and many knew him, and ran on foot out of all the cities, and came before them, and came together unto him.

And when the day was now ending, his disciples came unto him, and said, This is a desert place, and now the time is far passed:

He answered and said unto them, Give you them to eat. And they say unto him, Shall we go and buy two hundred pennyworth of bread, and give them to eat?

But when they saw him walking upon the sea, they supposed it was a spirit, and cried out:

For they all saw him, and were troubled. And immediately he talked with them, and said unto them, Be of good cheer: it is I; be not afraid.

And when they were come out of the ship, immediately they knew him,

And wherever he entered, into villages, or cities, or country, they laid the sick in the streets, and besought him that they might touch if it were but the border of his garment: and as many as touched him were made whole.

Then came together unto him the Pharisees, and certain of the scribes, who came from Jerusalem.

Then the Pharisees and scribes asked him, Why walk not your disciples according to the tradition of the elders, but eat bread with unwashed hands?

For Moses said, Honor your father and your mother; and, Whoever curses father or mother, let him die the death:

And you allow him no more to do anything for his father or his mother;

And when he had called all the people unto him, he said unto them, Hearken unto me every one of you, and understand:

There is nothing from outside a man, that entering into him can defile him: but the things which come out of him, those are they that defile the man.

If any man has ears to hear, let him hear.

And when he was entered into the house from the people, his disciples asked him concerning the parable.

And he said unto them, Are you so without understanding also? Do you not perceive, that whatsoever thing from outside enters into the man, it cannot defile him;

For a certain woman, whose young daughter had an unclean spirit, heard of him, and came and fell at his feet:

The woman was a Greek, a Syrophoenician by race; and she besought him that he would cast forth the demon out of her daughter.

And she answered and said unto him, Yes, Lord: yet the dogs under the table eat of the children's crumbs.

And they brought unto him one that was deaf, and had an impediment in his speech; and they besought him to put his hand upon him.

And he took him aside from the multitude, and put his fingers into his ears, and he spit, and touched his tongue;

And looking up to heaven, he sighed, and said unto him, Ephphatha, that is, Be opened.

In those days the multitude being very great, and having nothing to eat, Jesus called his disciples unto him, and said unto them,

And his disciples answered him, From where can a man satisfy these men with bread here in the desert?

And the Pharisees came forth, and began to question him, seeking of him a sign from heaven, testing him.

When I broke the five loaves among five thousand, how many baskets full of fragments took you up? They said unto him, Twelve.

And he came to Bethsaida; and they brought a blind man unto him, and besought him to touch him.

And he took the blind man by the hand, and led him out of the town; and when he had spit on his eyes, and put his hands upon him, he asked him if he saw anything.

After that he put his hands again upon his eyes, and made him look up: and he was restored, and saw every man clearly.

And he sent him away to his house, saying, Neither go into the town, nor tell it to any in the town.

And he said unto them, But who say you that I am? And Peter answered and said unto him, You are the Christ.

And he charged them that they should tell no man of him.

And he spoke that saying openly. And Peter took him, and began to rebuke him.

And when he had called the people unto him with his disciples also, he said unto them, Whosoever will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.

Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation; of him also shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he comes in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.

And after six days Jesus took with him Peter, and James, and John, and led them up into a high mountain apart by themselves: and he was transfigured before them.

And there was a cloud that overshadowed them: and a voice came out of the cloud, saying, This is my beloved Son: hear him.

And they asked him, saying, Why say the scribes that Elijah must first come?

But I say unto you, That Elijah has indeed come, and they have done unto him whatsoever they desired, as it is written of him.

And immediately all the people, when they beheld him, were greatly amazed, and running to him greeted him.

And wherever he takes him, he throws him down: and he foams, and gnashes with his teeth, and wastes away: and I spoke to your disciples that they should cast him out; and they could not.

He answered him, and said, O faithless generation, how long shall I be with you? how long shall I bear with you? bring him unto me.

And they brought him unto him: and when he saw him, immediately the spirit convulsed him; and he fell on the ground, and wallowed foaming.

And he asked his father, How long ago is it since this came unto him? And he said, Since childhood.
